He would get up early and stand beside the road leading to the city

shaken and went up to the

Bethlehem!”
And the three mighty men
brake through the host of the Philistines, and drew water out of the well of
Bethlehem, that was by the
gate, and took it, and brought it to David: nevertheless he would not drink thereof, but poured it out unto the LORD.
